android app suggestions

Mostly Foss android apps Suggest apps at @favandroidappschat

As every android user I try tons of apps. Mostly Foss or at least privacy friendly apps. Thought of gathering app links and categorizing them in a telegram channel. Please have a look if you want and also join the chat for app suggestions. thanks.

Bad telegram. Use matrix
- Matrix does not have search filter. Actually does not have any search at all in groups
  
  Also there is no way categorise messages by any mean
  
  In telegram I just add a # in the post Then Users tap on the # and all related messages appear
  
  Easy
  
  And fast
  
  More functional at the expense of privacy or security is probably not an argument that will do well here. Most are here to get away from google and privacy/security are big aspects of those.
  
  I'll go without, for both.
Do not use Telegram. Use Matrix instead.
- Matrix is only good for continous flow chatting
  
  There is no way to categorise and search messages

Matrix > Telegram
- If anyone can suggest a telegram alternative that can be publicly accessed without an account,can use tags and create a media and text preview from the providing link I'll be more than happy to use that instead
  
  I used telegram after thought
  
  Why not just make a lemmy community? There is no tag feature but you can have it so only moderators post if you wish.
If possible could you put this information in a more easy to access and public location? Perhaps a simple website or even something in a pastebin would be more convenient and accessible than in a telegram group. Thanks!
- That would require a lot more work. The idea behind the channel is to have an instant share and categorisation of an app I and other found and want to share and then use the related channel group to comment about it
